Since you have posted about this before with errors earlier in the build process and not told us those were resolved, very likely something prior to this is the problem.
You will find people here more responsive if you don't disregard the posting guide, e.g. by sending HTML mail.

Thank you. That doesn't help at all: we already know the problem is in bin/R, which will affect any attempt to run R. You will have to track down the 'bad substitution' (and no one else is going to be able to do it for you). BTW, R 2.6.2 runs perfectly well on Solaris 8 and 10, and we know R 2.6.0 works on Solaris 9 because sunfreeware.com distribute it. This points pretty firmly to something non-standard about your system. > > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > -- Brian D.
